Ouch. Create an etch base.tgz and copy it to your config space into
the subdirectory basefiles call it ETCH.tar.gz. Then add you clients
to the class ETCH. Now you have a lenny nfsroot which installs an etch
system. You also have to adjust your sources.list on the install client

IIRC live-initramfs was not availabe in plain etch, you have to add
the koeln repository, to get live-initramfs for etch.
